Who wouldn’t want a picturesque trip to the French capital that delivers more laughs than a nitrous oxide leak near the hyena compound? In fact, I’d go as far as to promise that Lost in Paris offers the three most delightful sight gags you’ll see on screen all year. Read full review

The lost art of slapstick — physical comedy — is so rarely practiced that when true masters of it show up on screen it’s like a surprise smack right on your funnybone. Read full review

From multi-talented Belgian/Canadian duo Dominique Abel and his partner Fiona Gordon comes a slice of light-hearted whimsy. Read full review

The pair blends storybook visuals with a stream of clever gags and oodles of pathos to deliver an infectious romance almost too eager to please at every turn. Read full review

The Film Stage John Fink

Jun 15, 2017

A throwback to a kinder, gentler comic sensibility combining the surreal, the whimsical and vaudeville, Lost in Paris successfully delights as two misfits continue to find themselves beholden to the kind of destiny that only graces visitors to the city of lights. Read full review

Lost in Paris grows a bit tiresome at feature length, but it’s a winning divertissement. Read full review

Fiona Gordon and Dominique Abel’s signature style blends screwball and romantic comedy with playful fantasy, but Lost in Paris lacks the magical elements of their previous features. Read full review

It has its moments where it's actually funny. The photography is good troughout the film. Some scenes are dragged for too long though and it's a strange thing in an already short movie.

This movie was shorter than an hour and a half, but was so tedious I thought it would never end. I maybe smiled two or three times. Stay away from this movie. The gags are not funny. And I love Paris and the French.

Some likeable characters, particularly Fiona, but the humor is so broad, so strained, so predictable and deliberately quirky, it's hard to care much, or be amused by, about them.
